Government Revenues.

Those who oppose protective tar.
iff assert that q reduction in tariff
rates will cause corresponding
change in government receipts, and in
this way an unhealthy surplus in the
national treasury would be prevented.
Common sense teaches that the re-
verse would be the result, for a low
er tariff in most cases, would simply
stimulate importations, and increase
the revenue instead of diminishing 1t.
While the industries of the country
would suffer complete or partial paral-
ysis, no good would be accomplish
ed in any direction except in giving
employment to laborers in foreign
countries at the expense of American
workmen. The moderate reduction
in the tariff proposed by Carlisle and
other Democratic leaders, for the pur-
pose of averting the dangers OF sur
plus. would thus have exactly the op-
posite effect, it is with this sort OF
sophistry that the friends OF free
trade hope to deceive the people, and
obtain a power that will enable them
to legislate to that end. The only
way to prevent such catastrophe is
to prevent Democratic control, for 1t
has given sufficient evidence that
once in possession of complete power,
it will make haste to carry out the
pernicious and destructive theories
which are certain to bring business
depression and financial ruin. The
way to prevent this is to vote for tie
Republican candidates, and thus insure
the triumph of the principle of pro-
protection. The Republican party can
be trusted to administer the govern
ment in all its departments; it can
prevent. the dire results which are
predicted in regard to the surplus,
without allowing so suicidal o policy
as the overthrow of American indus
tries.

RAILROADS.
Butler has three rail roads, p. &
W. now doing large business here,
having Bradford, Pittsburg, and
Chicago for its terminus 1t is mar
row guage from Bradford to Butler
and as soon as the gauge is changed
to standard will form direct line of
communication from Butler to Brad
ford, Rochester, and Albany, n. Y,
and the St. Lawrence river which
makes an open line of commerce to
the seaboard and foreign countries
east. The company owning this
road have lately acquired from
Youngstown and Painsvilie, Ohio, g
port on Lake Erie over which line
large shipments of iron ore from Lake
Superior regions can be made, max
ing this rail road a formidable COM
peting line for the transportation of
iron ore from the north to the various
points along this rail- The length of
the line proper from Allegheny to
Akron is 135 miles and from Gallery
to Bradford about 100 miles.
The S. & A. r r. whose termini
are practically Cincinnati, Cleveland.
and Erie is good standard gauge
whose length proper is about So
miles from Butler to Greenville.
This road has branch to Coal Town
and billiards in Butler County, af-
fording direct shipments of coal from
the large mines in this region to the
town Of Butler and other points
along this line.
Butler furnishes direct line Of
communication from the latter point
to the cities of Philadelphia and New
York and is competing line with
the p. & W. to Pittsburg being nine
miles longer. These rail roads add
much to the manufacturing interests
of Butler, the junction of these roads,
SO that this point offers fair compe-
teton with other localities in West
ern Pennsylvania.

Conferree Business Must Go.

In almost every section of this
State VIC notice efforts being made to
get clear of the old conferree system
of nominating district candidates.
In the new district for Congress OF
Crawford and Erie counties, a
change to the popular vote system
has already been made. Committees
were..appointed by each county and
have already made met and made above
change. This will likely be the
means of regaining a Republican
Congressman up there. Crawford
may be congratulated on being freed
from the old conferree business.
But other Congressional and Sena-
torial districts ueed the change as
well. And in none perhaps more
than in this Senate district. as well
as the new Congressional district.
F rom the action in the other dis
tricts it is evident they don't consider
it too soon to oct in this matter, but
have taken early action in order to
more certainly secnre the impor-
tant object in view.
The Democrats in some districts of
the State and also moving for a
C hange in nominating. Over in the
Fayette and Greene district they are
trying to get away from the confer
rec system in all district nominations.
The Republicans of the new Wash
ington county Congressional district
are also moving for a change from
the conferree to the popular vote sys-
tenn.
